Esquire's Things a Man Should Know About Sex

by Ted Allen, Scott Omelianuk

"Like their previous books, this tongue-in-cheek guide to success between the sheets is based on the magazine's popular feature 'Things a Man Should Know.' The sound advice and humor at men's expense may delight women even more than it does ménage à trois, the authors wisely advise, for example, is French for 'in your dreams.'"-- Publishers Weekly . "...a witty and literate book. It's a fast and funny read, full of sly suggestions, innuendo, charming facts and figures, and the kind of advice even a woman could love."-- Bridalguide.com . "If your man has trouble motivating himself to get off the couch and exercise, he'll be happy to hear this exciting stat...doing the mattress mambo three times a week can burn 7,500 calories a year, the equivalent of running 75 miles."-- Cosmopolitan .

Reviews

[Marsha · Rating 4 out of 5]

Written from a woman’s point of view and taken from the popular men’s magazine, this handy little book is a fun-spirited walk through what really gets a woman’s motor running. The sweet and not too vicious jabs at men make this book even more appealing to women than it does for its target audience. Humorous yet insightful (start at the neck; DON’T stick your tongue in her ear!), “Things a Man Should Know about Sex” should be kept discreetly in the nightstand drawer right next to the condoms and handcuffs.

Funny, sarcastic with mixes of real stuff. Fun to read yourself and check off the parts you want him to read.
